VAC to host sexual health forum at the GH Hotel

WITH the recent success of forums HIV Prevention: Get PrEPped on PrEP and Gay Men’s Health and PrEP: the new voices of community activism, the Victorian AIDS Council is set to continue the community forum series with Sex Now! A Forum About How We Have Sex tomorrow night (Tuesday, September 30) at The GH Hotel in St Kilda, Melbourne.

Focusing on sexual health, the event will include a discussion of risk reduction strategies used by gay men to reduce the transmission of HIV an other STIs, as well as the terminology utilised during sexual encounters.

This forum will feature a panel of three guests: Living Positive Victoria executive director Brent Allan, The Kirby Institutes’s Garrett Prestage and Prahran Market Clinic’s Dr Vincent Cornelisse.

Presentations will be followed by a Q&A session.

VAC’s Health Promotion, Policy and Communications Director Colin Batrouney explained the need for this forum.

“We are at a point in the epidemic where there have never been so many options to prevent HIV and to reduce the risk of transmission and acquisition,” he said.

“It is important that we have the opportunity, as a community, to come together to examine these strategies and discuss what they might mean for us in the future.”

The forum is free to attend, but RSVP is recommended via email: [email protected] For details, click here.
